IT IS AMAZING HOW WE GET STUCK IN TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS FROM THE PAST AND NEVER REALIZE WHAT THE TRUTH IS. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE IS DEFINED AS A HEATHEN PRACTICE FROM CENTURIES AGO AND YOU WILL FIND OUT HOW YOUR FATHER YAHWEH IN HEAVEN FEELS ABOUT IT IN JEREMIAH CHAPTER 10:1-5= HEAR YOU THE WORD OF YAHWEH WHICH SPEAKS TO YOU OH HOUSE OF ISRAEL(THE CHURCH); LEARN NOT THE WAY OF THE HEATHEN AND BE NOT DISMAYED AT THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN(SUN WORSHIP) FOR THE HEATHEN ARE DISMAYED AT THEM. FOR THE CUSTOMS OF THE PEOPLE ARE VAIN: FOR ONE CUTS A TREE OUT OF THE FOREST, THE HANDS OF THE WORKMAN. WITH AN AXE. THEY DECK IT WITH SILVER AND GOLD; THEY FASTEN IT WITH NAILS AND WITH A HAMMER, THAT IT MOVE NOT. THEY ARE UPRIGHT AS THE PALM TREE BUT THEY DON 'T SPEAK: THEY MUST NEED HELP BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GO. BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM; FOR THEY CAN DO EVIL NEITHER ALSO IS IT NOT IN THEM TO DO GOOD.

THERE IS THE FIRST SIGN OF UNHOLINESS AND CURSE FROM THE FATHER AND THE SON IN HEAVEN.

THE OTHER IS A COMMAND FROM OUR CREATOR NOT TO CUT DOWN TREES THAT BEAR FRUIT FOR THAT IS FOR MANS FOOD. IN DEUTERONOMY 20: VERSE 19-20 YOU WILL READ;

WHEN YOU SHALL BESEIGE A CITY A LONG TIME, IN MAKING WR AGAINST IT TO TAKE IT, YOU SHALL NOT DESTROY THE TREES THEREOF BY FORCING AN AXE AGAINST THEM: FOR YOU MAY EAT OF THEM AND YOU SHALL NOT CUT THEM DOWN (FOR THE TREE OF THE FIELD IS MANS LIFE) TO EMPLOY THEM IN THE SIEGE. ONLY THE TREES WHICH YOU KNOW THAT THEY BE NOT TREES FOR FOOD, YOU SHALL DESTROY AND CUT THEM DOWN AND YOU SHALL BUILD BULWARKS AGAINST THE CITY THAT MAKES WAR WITH YOU, UNTIL IT BE SUBDUED.

THE OTHER IS THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF CHRISTMAS.

THE OTHER IS THE PAGAN IDEA OF WREATHS AND OTHER SIDE THINGS BROUGHT UP ON PUBLIC TV JUST THE OTHER NIGHT.

THE OTHER IS LYING ABOUT SANTA AND REINGDEER THAT FLY.

THE OTHER IS RUDINESS IN PLACES WITH SALES OF ITEMS FOR EACH OTHER.

AND THE UNHOLINESS OF IT ALL GOES ON WITH OUT REPENTANCE AND TURNING FROM THESE HEATHEN IDEAS.

EXAMINE THIS ON ANY KNOWLEDGABLE ENCYLOPEDIA OR DICTIONARY AND YOU WILL FIND THE WITNESS TO THE TRUTH.
